With September 1st a few minutes away, I have been ignoring the fact of this month. I have pushed through August with family, friends, summer outings and have set aside feeling the depths of my grief and what this month reminds us all. Yes this month serves as a victory that we have walked through one year (almost) without our dearest Dom at our side and gotten through BUT... it also serves as a reminder that life just keeps moving, this fast paced world keeps spinning and Dom, in his flesh, is nowhere to be seen. Hard. Ache. God has massively held my hand through this year and the many Dom moments I have felt have been unique and so clearly him. Feeling Dom is different to a Holy Spirit internal kinda feeling, but instead an outward almost graspable feeling of nearness. Why does he touch-down so to say, in some moments and not many others... I dont know. But I trust it is him, and I trust I have felt just enough to get me through this year. Thankful I have felt both God and Dom near. I havent felt alone! This year has been a conquering. This year has been a battle. This year has been filled with surprising amounts of JOY, yet intertwined with deep pain. This year has been one of rising up after being knocked off my path. Mum, dad, josh and so many more... We have somehow walked through it. SOMEHOW. This month is a tough one to enter into... Dom will so proudly point us out as his brave family who he loves deeper then deep as he watches us walk these days of September out. Canadians, As we walk into this month... Consider coming out for a sweet and simple way to honour Dominics life together. On Sept. 14th,3pm in Matsqui, BC we will gather for a bike ride (family fun level (a gentle 10k) and fitness level(25k approx)) to honour Dom. Riding for him. Nothing seems more fitting so I love that Doms friends came up with this and put it into action. Dont worry if you are not a biker or struggle to get your bike to the park... You can join for the picnic park from 5pm onwards... My heart would be so happy to see any of you come out to bike for my man. But alongside of me, Nixon will be so blessed. Thanks for walking alongside in this unchosen year and praying for us into September... Thanks for listening to my mix of emotions I have shared here and there and for all the encouragement I have continued to receive. Thanks for remembering Dom...
